Nightmare

It’s beyond belief
What’s going on
War against the Jews
That simple

I arrived in Auschwitz
They weren’t going to take my soul
Lots of hardships
Seeing death everywhere

Germans
They kill you right away
Shot on the spot
Where is god

Jews
Hunted
Frightened
No escape

The Cruelty
Thousands of people
All dead
Most monsterous thing man devised

Walking dead
Skeletons
Horrible sight
Nightmare



Rationale: My poem is about despair. I wrote my peom about despair because the Jews were either killed on the street or killed in a concentration camp. On the streets there was little hope for survival. It was extremely hard to find food. If a Jew was caught they were taken to a concentration camp.
